The Chula Vista Bayfront Conservancy Trust (BCT) is now being formed by the
City of Chula Vista. Two seats on the Board of Directors have been designated
for representatives to be appointed by the City Council . One of the seats is

a regionally recognized environmental organization.

accordance with the approved Specific Plan.

DISCUSSION:
The Bayfront Conservancy Trust will be a nonprofit corporation with a mandate
to implement the habitat preservation and enhancement objectives detailed in
the Bayfront Land Use Plan. The Bayfront Conservancy Trust will also
coordinate mitigation measures required in connection with already approved
projects. Land dedications, other than those made to California Department of
Fish and Game, will be received and held by the Trust. The Board of Directors
of the Bayfront Conservancy Trust will provide guidance for the selection of
educational programs. The goal of these educational programs is to increase
public knowledge of and support for natural resource conservation. Biological
monitoring of changes occurring in the bayfront will be overseen by the Trust.
The Bayfront Conservancy Trust Board of Directors should be assembled as soon
as possible so that guidance on appropriate educational displays for the
interior of the Nature/Interpretive Center is available. The Internal Revenue
Forms for non-profit status have been completed and a filing for non-profit
corporate status has been made with the Secretary of State.
The Mayor of Chula Vista or his designee will serve as the Chairman of the
Board of Directors. Two other seats on the board have been designated for
appointees of the Chula Vista City Council . The qualifications of the two
appointees were outlined in the Bayfront Specific Plan as follows: a
citizen-at-large and a representative of a regionally recognized environmental
organization whose aim is the protection and conservation of natural resources.

Staff recommends the selection of these two members from the Nature Center
Citizens' Advisory Committee based on their contributions regarding the

the Bayfront Conservancy Trust asking that appointments be made. It is
anticipated that the Trust will soon be able to meet on at least an informed
basis until corporate status is achieved.
